Is drinking wine or beer more toxic?
On average, 100 ml of 40-degree alcohol contains 400 g of ethanol, 100 ml of wine contains 12 g of ethanol, and 100 ml of beer contains 5 g of ethanol.
Doctor Le Quang Hao - National Institute of Nutrition said that if you drink the same amount of beer or wine, beer has a lower alcohol content. However, many people often drink too much beer at once. The body therefore also eliminates many good minerals.
Therefore, "the harmful effects of alcohol and beer do not depend on the type of drink but on the amount of alcohol consumed, how it is consumed, and how often it is consumed," Dr. Hao emphasized.
According to Mr. Nguyen Minh Tuan - Deputy Director of the Central Institute of Mental Health, it is difficult to say how much alcohol or beer is too much. Currently, there is no scientific evidence to prove that drinking alcohol in moderation is good for health. In fact, the risks and consequences of drinking alcohol or beer for each person are different, depending on many factors such as age, gender, biological characteristics...
"There is no safe level of alcohol consumption, and it is difficult to determine whether alcohol or beer is more toxic. The risk will increase in proportion to the amount of alcohol consumed and each person's constitution," said Mr. Tuan.

Normally, an alcohol concentration of 0.16 - 0.2 g in 100 ml of blood is enough to make a person drunk and have impaired vision. From 0.21 to 0.3 g of alcohol in 100 ml of blood causes the drinker to be poisoned, vomit, and lose control of himself. An alcohol concentration of 0.5 g in 100 ml of blood can be life-threatening, especially when the soft tongue falls deep into the airway, causing respiratory failure and respiratory arrest, circulatory collapse, low blood pressure, and hypothermia.
In addition, alcohol in wine and beer causes acute or chronic poisoning, affects the structure and transmission of the central nervous system, reduces alertness, disrupts consciousness, and affects the behavior of the drinker. Alcoholics are prone to memory loss, mental disorders, slow reflexes, hallucinations leading to domestic violence, traffic accidents, etc.
